One account of the battle described the Safavid army as being beautifully outfitted, with lavish horses and uniforms, and over twice the number of the Afghan 20,000 force. On the contrary, the Afghan forces were described as being in loose formations, very few in anything that appeared to be a uniform, hungry and in need of equipment.

abstract
  • One account of the battle described the Safavid army as being beautifully outfitted, with lavish horses and uniforms, and over twice the number of the Afghan 20,000 force. On the contrary, the Afghan forces were described as being in loose formations, very few in anything that appeared to be a uniform, hungry and in need of equipment. The Afghans won the war and began their conquest of the Safavid Empire. Numbers and casualty figures of the Gulnabad battle are believed to be between 5,000 to 15,000 dead Safavid soldiers, and in the siege that followed, over 80,000 Safavids died due to war and famine. It was following the battle that the Afghans laid siege to the city of Isfahan for six months, after which they took the capital of the Safavid Empire.
